Might be making a rod for my own back here, but I think the next thing I try to build in Blender, might be a Star Wars spaceship dock - like Docking Bay 94 from ANH. Or Peli Motto's Hangar 3-5 from The Mandalorian.

I will, of course, have to design a SW ship to go in it.

Sketch to the basic model…

Work in progress. A blender model of a Star Wars style hangar bay - like a bundt cake, with a big wedge cut out. A figure in the foreground shows scale. A couple of Star Wars style random bits of tech have been modelled so far. At the back of the hangar a kind of control room has appeared.

@nyrath Thanks fella. Trying to be a bit more considered and thoughtful about how I approach this, knowing that I’m going to have to learn a bunch of new stuff if I’m to get the result I want.

@eldritch48 Hey Seth, complete Blender noob question - why/how are different elements different colours when you're building? Thanks!

The 'Kuiper Belle' touches down on Enceladus, with supplies for the Herschel Outpost.

@nyrath Thanks fella. The encouragement (and the resources online) definitely help.

@nyrath That’s actually one of the initial uses I had in mind for Blender. Haven’t actually tried it yet. Got a little addicted to modelling.

@nyrath These look pretty cool to me.

Could do with a name for this. Scrap/salvage ship. Ex asteroid mining vessel. Plying its trade between Ceres and Mars.

Scrapper Ship. A repurposed asteroid mining vessel, with lasers still in place. Now home to a single crew member, scraping a living between Ceres and Mars.

How much time should I spend modelling a landing gear on a spaceship? Rhetorical question. Especially if your answer is less than an hour.

@FredKiesche 40 minutes if it's Boeing.
